It was a pleasure to speak with Todd Grover, Global Sr. Manager , Applied Safety Solutions at Master Lock during the National Safety Council Congress in Houston this week. He told me that the lock out/tag out procedure is an old system that is still very viable in the hydrocarbon processing industries.

Todd will be giving a webinar on October 30, 2018 on the lock out/tab out methodology. He will discuss the following items:

The role of lockout permits to document safe work activities.

The checklist method of documenting lockout activity on generic machinery.

The enhancement of contractor management through this information exchange process.
